[PATCH sparse] parse: shifting by full number of bits is undefined

From: Jason A. Donenfeld

The type checker wasn't identifying upper bounds for huge unsigned
64-bit numbers, because the right shift turned into a no-op:

zx2c4@thinkpad /tmp $ cat sparse.c
enum { sparse_does_not_like_this = 0x8000000000000003ULL };
zx2c4@thinkpad /tmp $ sparse sparse.c
sparse.c:1:36: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (8000000000000003 becomes 3)

This works around the issue by detecting when we're going to shift by
the size of the variable and treat that as always zero.
